I'm A Celebrity's Andy Whyment breaks down live on air before the result is announced

I'm A Celebrity runner-up Andy Whyment broke down live on air before the final result was even announced.

Coronation Street actor Andy was a late arrival on the show this year, but that didn't stop him from being installed as red hot favourite by the bookies as soon as he entered the jungle.

But the experts got it wrong as Eastenders star Jacqueline Jossa  beat Andy and radio host Roman Kemp in Sunday night's final.

Before Ant & Dec even announced the result Andy was in tears after watching a VT of his best bits.

As well as saying it was because of time away from other half Nicola and their kids, choking back the tears, Andy said "It means so much to me that people are supporting me as Andy instead of just Kirk.

"I came in here with 55,000 followers I think on Twitter, Caitlyn Jenner has got 10 million so I can't believe I beat her."

Andy has been walking the cobbles of Wetherfield for nearly 20 years now, having first appeared on screen as Kirk back in 2000.

Away from Corrie, Andy has also appeared in legendary comedy The Royle Family, where he played Antony's best friend Darren. In 2006, Andy was a contestant on Soapstar Superstar and has also taken to the rink for Dancing on Ice.
